Not every course of treatment is successful – there’s nothing that can be done about it so far. Adverse outcomes may be due to an incurable disease, atypical nature of the disease, a delayed treatment course, the hidden patient’s hypersensitivity to some drugs, anomalies of development of individual organs and systems, and etc.

In such cases, the assessment of adverse impact of treatment causes difficulties even in qualified personnel. It is primarily explained by the specifics of medical practice, very different from other professions. Firstly, for other professions (driver, builder, and etc.) each death associated with their activities is always unnatural and likely to be caused as a result of some ‘illegal’ actions. The lethal outcome in the treatment process (incurable disease) often depends on the actions of medical workers, but in the presence of certain objective conditions it is not considered to be unnatural and/or unlawful. Secondly, the activities of workers in other occupations are usually regulated by certain rules and regulations (for example, road traffic rules, safety regulations in the production of construction work, etc.). In lethal cases where a person gets hit by a car, or at the construction site, the rules that have been violated, as well who stands behind them, can be figured out.

In assessing the effects of the medical actions, the situation is much more complicated. Although medical activities are regulated by numerous official rules, these documents do not provide coverage of all the diversity of medical services, especially in relation to the characteristics of the individual course of the disease in each patient. In this connection, the diagnosis and treatment of most diseases doesn’t include any official rules or instructions. Hence, the main and often the only criterion for assessing the medical staff is only certain provisions of medical science and medical practice. This way or the other, according to solicitors.guru, a prominent startup running the largest database of medical negligence solicitors, the amount of preliminary classifications of reasonability of claims is confirmed in 39 – 58% of cases in the UK.

It should be understood that in medical practice along with the newest methods of diagnosis and treatment relatively old and well proven, but not committed, treatment options still exist. However, with a large experience of the doctor, they are very effective. In addition, in medicine legalised a variety of methods of diagnosis and treatment of the same disease. The legitimacy of such distinctions not only follows from the results of scientific research, but is also supported by the daily medical practice. Furthermore, the practical activity of other professions usually deals with limited tasks – finding a sufficient resolution in a particular branch of science. Thus, the serial production of any machine starts to be produced only in the presence of appropriate materials, after the development of the project, development of the technology and testing prototypes. Standardisation facilitates the production of manufacturing technology equipment, its maintenance and repair.

The situation around medicine is different. Here, the research and practice of medical care are often closely intertwined. And this situation is not accidental. It is due to the specific provision of medical care, the interests of the patient as an individual course of the disease requires a doctor’s exceptional powers of observation, individual approach in the choice of means and methods of treatment, the correct evaluation of the effectiveness of selected assets, ie substantive elements of scientific research in the treatment of each patient. In medicine a standard approach to patients is doomed to failure, because each disease passes differently in each person.

Selecting the right gearbox for the facility means a lot. However there are several gearbox types in the market which have made the choice difficult. They have also lead to serious issues such as when repair is required. However experts recommended specialized gearbox repair and service to get out of all issues. If the owners are well versed in gearbox terminologies then it is easy for them to determine that noise, backlash, pressure and torque are few factors which show that when maintenance is required. Some gearbox types are as follows:

Helical Gearbox

Some of the industries that have benefited from helical type are plastic, cement and rubber. Related industrial paraphernalia can be transported as it is found to be a very effective in this regard. The helical gearbox has a unique feature of tooth angling. Both teeth remain in constant contact with each other while the gearbox is working. The extruder helical gearboxes have proven to be the best in plastic industry as a great power is required in this sector. These gearboxes are also known for their low noise and maximum torque.

Worm Gearbox

If the power transmission is required at 90 degrees then this gearbox is used. The speed reduction ratio is greater which increases the efficiency. Worm gearbox comes with a wheel. The wheel shaft meshes with worm screw to create motion. As the name suggests the worm screw is just like an ordinary screw and the wheel resembles a nut. It is used in guitar tuning and elevator industry.

Spur gearbox

It is one of the most efficient gearboxes in the market. The teeth of these gearboxes are positioned in such a way that high gear ratio is obtained. The efficiency can be as high as 98% which is a very good figure as compared to other gearboxes in the market. However there are certain disadvantages which do not make spur gearbox a good choice at all. The first is that it creates a lot of noise which is sometimes unacceptable. Another issue is that spur gearbox cannot be used in swift jobs just because of sound it makes.

Planetary units

The first advantage of using this type is the high efficiency it gives. The second con is that these units are small in size and therefore they are easy to place. Installation is pretty easy and therefore it increases the overall torque as well. The planetary units are only used in high-performance jobs as they work swiftly. The best part of planetary units is that at any stage of the job they are fully capable for any customization which further increases their effectiveness.

Gear motors

It is another type of gear box that can be configured in any way industry wants. It can be helical gearbox as well as spur depending upon the situation. These are electrical powered and therefore the efficiency is increased. The installation of these units is also easy to perform which makes them any industry’s best friend. Predetermined results can be generated with this gearbox mechanism.

Alongside the growing concerns over global privacy violations and ubiquitous cyberattacks, online security tools have appeared in great demand. Top Web Browsers are getting equipped with extra security plug-ins and add-ons. Various online services claim to apply encryption methods wherever possible – from messages to money transactions. Passwords are changed more often since recently. What really made a significant move forward in recent years is VPN technologies development.

The VPN market is growing fast, opening real business opportunities. For example, many providers now prefer to sell VPN connections in a bulk, which you can invest in and then resell at a profit. Mind that such a business will inevitably require some start-up capital, certain business intuition and a sizable marketing effort, just like an average business in any field.

Clearly, it is far from easy to get a considerable return on your investment. Start with looking for a suitable provider: study the reviews of VPN service providers on AntaNET or other similar sources – you will see a big range of offers. The main criterion to look out for is the rebranding possibility, in order to ensure your potential customers’ loyalty and avoid their switching to the source. Do not forget to ask about logging and the protocols being served by the provider. PureVPN is one of the providers that might be a good business partner, also mentioned among the VPN services on AntaNET.

Coming back to the branding issue, it is worth mentioning that particularly the brand is your business as long as you provide customized services instead of the VPN infrastructure: an attractive logo, a quality landing page, a memorable domain will help you out. Plus you will be more than lucky if your VPN provider possesses a number of adjustable tools to be altered with a new label, or even additional configuration options to build up the services according to your business strategy.

Pay attention that the prices you will charge for your VPN services are going to be based on the provider’s prices and you will have to stay competitive with the other market players. It won’t be cool, but there are always chances to raise your earnings in the perspective: either through leaving the provider underpaid, or by enlarging the customer base via creating more feature-complex offers. The second option is way more pleasant. Again, do some research on prices set by the working VPN service providers and undercut your potentially closest contestants.

With reference to the wholesale fees, be always on the alert and do the math. It is recommended to avoid royalty schemes: as soon as your VPN service network expands to a large scale, you will have to share big profits amounts with the provider. However, in some cases royalty-based schemes appear to be cheaper in the long run, especially if you are not planning to scale.

Importantly, the tech support you are going to provide will not be a piece of cake: that comprehensive support package offered by the provider is rather targeted at you, than the users. Therefore, it’s you who will actually assist if something goes wrong. Be prepared to react promptly and efficiently: keep all the necessary documentation, develop detailed user instructions to make your life easier, set up a management tool to register new subscribers and keep their user information at hand.

Finally, VPN business is not all about organizing a new service from scratch, performing tech maintenance and user support. You can simply sell subscription offers made by existing providers, receiving a substantial return on active sales. Nevertheless, this option is hardly acceptable for tech geeks able to build their private VPNs.

If you are running on a tight budget and simply cannot afford professional services, information is your trump card. Help yourself with a few tips on how to make your blog posts more likeable, kindly prepared by HTP, a prosperous digital marketing Manchester firm boasting an impressive track record (Granada Material Handling, Hilsonic, etc.).

The proper selection of key phrases and words dramatically affects the amount of readers you can attract. When composing an article, accentuate the associations that emerge when reading. These associations are the keywords and phrases that will be searched for on the Internet. Assess the submission of the reading audience and anticipate those phrases that they will enter into search engines. Otherwise your blog will not be found by potential customers. As an auxiliary service, take advantage of Google Keyword Tool.

Avoid publishing large posts. If a post or article is too large, the chances that the user will find the relevant information quickly and easily decrease. Therefore, you can quickly lose the audience not many are willing to pay close attention to huge articles (the majority may consider the affair to be time-killing). Continue reading →

The twenty-first century heralds the era of biotechnology and nanotechnology, electronics and ultrasound. The latest stands for an oscillatory motion in waves propagating particles of the medium and is characterised by a number of distinctive features compared with the vibrations of the audible range. In the ultrasonic frequency range it is relatively easy to obtain directional radiation; well to ultrasonic vibrations focusing, thereby increasing the intensity of ultrasonic oscillations in certain areas of exposure. For propagation in gases, liquids and solids ultrasound produces unique phenomena, many of which have found practical applications in various fields of science and technology. After all, the effect gave birth to the entire industry, with big players like Hilsonic, a UK-based business concentrating its efforts on ultrasonic cleaner devices and complex systems.

It’s now over a hundred years has passed since the application of ultrasonic vibrations. The first laboratory works on the study of ultrasound were performed by Russian physicist Lebedev at the end of XIX, and for the past hundred years the development and application of ultrasound technology involved in many prominent scientists in different countries.

The application

During this time the asset of humanity there were dozens of highly effective, resource-saving and environmentally friendly ultrasonic technologies – hardening, tinning and soldering, preventing the formation of scale on heat transfer surfaces, drying heat-sensitive substances, extraction of animal and vegetable raw materials, dissolution, sterilization of liquids, a fine spray of drugs, heavy fuels, and the preparation of emulsions of ultrafine suspensions, dispersion dyes, polymers and metal welding, washing, cleaning parts without using flammable or toxic solvents.

Wind generators consume virtually no fossil fuel. A 1 MW wind turbine for the 20 years of operation saves about 29 thousand tons of coal or 92 thousand barrels of oil. The price of electricity produced by wind turbines depends on wind speed:

Cost of wind speed (US, 2004)

7.16 m/c 4,8 cents/kWh;

8.08 m/s 3.6 cents/kWh;

9.32 m/s 2.6 cents/kWh.

For comparison, the cost of electricity generated from coal varied in the range of 4.5-6 cents/kWh in the US. The average cost of electricity in China equaled 4 cents per kWh.

By doubling the wind power capacity the electricity produced is improved by 15%. Today, in comparison with the previous period 10 years ago wind energy became almost 160% cheaper. Interestingly, in the early 80s the cost of wind electricity in the US was estimated at $0.38.

In March 2006, Earth Policy Institute (USA) reported that in the two parts of the US the cost of wind power has become less than the cost of traditional energy. In the fall of 2005 due to rising prices for natural gas and coal the cost of wind electricity has become less than the cost of electricity produced from all the conventional sources. Austin Energy Companies in Texas and Xcel Energy in Colorado were the first ones to sell electricity generated from wind cheaper than electricity generated from conventional sources.

Functionality aspects

Wind energy sources are unregulated, which is a huge benefit for business developers. The success of wind farm development largely depends on the wind strength – an absolutely crucial factor. Accordingly, the issue of electricity from the wind turbine to the grid is characterized by large inequalities in daily and weekly, monthly, annual and long-term perspective. Given that the power system itself has load fluctuations (power peaks and dips), which regulate wind power, of course, the introduction of a significant proportion of wind power into the power system may promote its destabilization. It is clear that wind power requires a reserve power (e.g. in the form of gas turbine power plants), as well as mechanisms for smoothing the heterogeneity of its production (in the form of hydroelectric or PSP stations). Thus, the aspect has an impact on the cost of wind energy. Various power systems with great reluctance connect to turbines to the grid, which in turn led to the legislation, forcing the companies to do it.

Problems in networks and dispatching power systems due to the instability of wind turbines start working after they have reached a share in 20-25% of the total installed capacity of the system. However, according to the Spanish companies Gamesa Eolica and WinWind the accuracy forecast of energy produced by wind farm planning with hourly market day-ahead or spot mode exceeds 95%.

Contingent consideration may take different forms, each of which allocates a certain risk associated with the outcome of the case. The most common linear compensation scheme implies that the client agrees to pay the lawyer a fixed proportion of any monetary benefits that received as a result of the settlement of the dispute or awarded by the court. In most of these schemes lawyer typically pays the client during the trial, knowing that the funds will not be able to return if the case is lost. Therefore, this scheme can be considered remuneration as follows: a fixed cash payment plus a share of the monetary benefits to be received later. Nonlinear compensation schemes are also quite common, usually in these schemes the percentage of contingent consideration decreases with increasing the monetary benefits. In other schemes, the value of the remuneration, acquired by a lawyer depends on whether the case settled or a court decision is made; the effort of the lawyer (estimated in the number of hours spent) may also be taken into account. If the client is not inclined to take risks, he would prefer to share the risk with the lawyer and choose a contract with contingent consideration. But the client is not able to convince the lawyer that the submitted information corresponds to the real state of affairs until the documents are submitted. Therefore, the lawyer may fear that if he agrees to conduct business for contingent consideration, after an expensive collection of necessary documents the case may appear to be fruitless. In this connection, the client will hardly be able to find a lawyer who agrees to conduct business for a reasonable fee. A lawyer can set the size of remuneration, based on its assessment of the likelihood that the case would be unsound and the reward that he will ask for will be determined taking into account the risk. But for the customer, who risk losing the case is lower than average risk, the requested attorney fee is too high. The exceptions are rare, yet they are possible. Thus, making a choice in favor of partnering with an ambitious company, paving its way to the top league may be pay for itself. Forster Dean may be the right agency to team up with – being one of the largest UK no win no fee agencies, it offers quite fair and reasonable terms, and running a good number of offices across the country:

Chorley (Lancashire)

Crewe (Cheshire)

Wigan (Greater Manchester)

How can the problem of poor selection be solved? The lawyer in this case is the uninformed party, and can take advantage of the screening strategy. He will offer the customer a set of contracts with different proportions of the contingent consideration, choosing which clients will disclose information about themselves. If a ‘decent quality’ with favorable prospects for obtaining compensation, the client chooses a contract in which the share of the contingent consideration is insignificant and lawyer works primarily on the basis of an hourly fee or a fixed fee. ‘High quality’ claim encourages a business to bet on a favorable outcome. On the other hand, the clients whose cases are evaluated as ‘poor quality’ ones, agree to contingent consideration, thus recognizing that the expected value of the compensation to which they would have to leave, is small, since the probability of winning the case is relatively small.
